There was this add on TV in NZ... was it for deoderant, tampons or diet coke (isn't it great when advertising doesn't work)? I don't know, but it involved a couple of girls/women in their apartment. One of the girls flashes her bra at someone out the window?
Anyhoo, the main thing, is that one of the girls is wandering around with no pants on. She has a t-shirt and *underwear* and the panties are boyshorts, so she's showing less than a tip-top add featuring someone in a bikini. But, still. I thought it was ridiculous! No-one I know does that, it'd be cold and ... why? Except now I do know someone who does that. Me!
Here is why. I don't like doing laundry, especially ironing. My clothes must be in a nice condition for work. I have more work tops than "bottoms" (also, several of my work tops are knits and do not require ironing). If I keep my "bottoms" nice and clean and tidy, then I don't have to do laundry so often. So, when I get home, one of the first things I do is take off my work skirt/pants and hang them up. I might then flop on the bed and check email on the laptop, or read a book/magazine or go to the bathroom, all before deciding which of my non-work pants I will put on instead.
Why would I begin doing this in Ireland?
1) It is warm in my apartment. Really warm, like I get warm walking home and get inside and it is uncomfortably warm.
2) In Ireland, I have no trackpants. My non-work pants are mainly close-fitting jeans and not so comfy for flopping in.
3) We have an ensuite, so I have 2 rooms to wander around in. In NZ there was no wandering. I will not force the sight of me in boylegs onto my flatmates.
4) I think, since pole, I'm more comfortable with seeing myself in a mirror in short-shorts/hotpants. I was ok with wearing my pole shorts around the house at home in NZ. Muggle was less ok with this :P
Then I thought... maybe more people I know are comfortable wandering around in underwear in the privacy of their homes/rooms. Then I thought, should I be blogging this, my Dad and Beau's mum read this blog? Then I thought, saying that I am ok wearing only a top and underwear in private surely is only as "bad" as saying I'm ok with wearing nothing in the shower.
That's right, being naked in the shower is ok with me!
Point of Fashion: Naked... underneath my clothes
Current Obsession: I *think* it was advertising deoderant
